Protect the Green Halo that Circles our Planet

Stretching from Alaska clear across Canada to the Atlantic Ocean, the Boreal is an astonishing wilderness, one of the largest intact ecosystems in the world. It holds more freshwater than any other body of water on the planet and plays an essential role in cleaning the air we breathe and in fighting climate change. It is also habitat to rare species of wolves, bears, and woodland caribou, as well as half of North America's songbirds. Currently, less than 8 percent of the Boreal is protected. It is being logged at a rate of two acres a minute, twenty-four hours a day, much of it to make things like catalogs, junk mail, magazines, newspapers and toilet paper. The United States consumes more than half of all the trees logged in the Boreal.

Your gift supports ForestEthics in strategically training a grassroots activist to create accountability for the destruction of these forests and to advance the transformation of harmful practices. The trainings are often held inside the Boreal, and include hands-on exposure to the clear-cut regions. The experience empowers the next generation of environmental leaders to become lifelong crusaders for the forest.
